Why would you put trove coins on Crystal tower?

[Naoki34]

And this mog event, they're still putting the worst dungeons in the game and raid, I wonder what the point is when it's doable in Trust System.

Worst of all, there's no one around at certain times to tell you how much people have deserted Dawntrail while waiting for the next patch, it's unheard of.

I say this because before, you could chain raids/dungeons to farm mog parts. Now, it's 2x more boring than before.

Where do we draw the line for that though?
Instead of leading to dead stb raids or hw raids why not use this event as the trigger for new players to unlock those and actually help them with getting into it? Like I don‘t know, actually keeping other content alive?

If anyone refuses other raids then screw them. This is an MMO. Work for your rewards and unlock them.
If new players haven‘t unlocked anything besides crystal tower than make the ARR dungeons also give tomes.

They are so fixated on ARR for all events that they forgot that HW and Stb are also old content and man do those need help nowadays.

I just think there are other ways to get new players or keep old content alive instead of pushing the side of the scale down that is already touching the ground.

Well, its not even people being lazy, Voidmage. There is a lot of new players who join the game every day, and they too matter when it comes to events. Now I do agree that there should be more variety for seasoned players as well. Alexander and Crystal Tower raids can be for sprouts, and Pandemonium and The Myths of the Realms can be for level 90 players who are trying to work on leveling up alt jobs, or for those who took a big break in Endwalker and need a good catch up motivation.

I don't think even this is the case. Two mogtome events ago, it was CT. When I asked why, people used the same logic. "A set rotation." The next mogtome event was not CT. And now we have this one where it's CT again. If it is a rotation, then it's a very short cycle where CT is repeated every other rotation. Which brings us back to the OP's question of why it's done this way.

Most of the event is low leveled crap. It doesn't have to be a zero sum game, either. Just... have ct, but also have some other stuff for people who don't want to be downsynced to level 50 or 60. Easy fix.

Its honestly just speculation at this point. They may had an influx of new players entering the game, and maybe they are basing decisions on player traffic. Even though its consistent, the Crystal Tower raids are probably the safest choice the devs can make regarding player participation. As I stated above; it would be better if they had choices for both new and seasoned players in some regard. Though we all can say even with the latter choice on the menu; 80% of Alliance roulettes is gonna be one of the Crystal Tower raids. Its the easiest raids to access, unfortunately.

Just attach them to everything in the game (plus roulettes). This way people can pick and choose what they wanna run (aside from being a all blu raid to wipe out the bosses quickly).

to me all roulette should have the tomestone but they should give two set of alliance the tomestone one being CT and the other at random

[Supersnow845]

Why even bother giving it to CT at all, they should just do 2 of the 4 non CT sets then the other 2

[Syln]

Because there is no escape from that crystal hell :3

like Syln said there is no escape so giving two set one being CT mean you still get coins so it isn't a waste at all and having CT is one of the way for new player to have one way to grind them

[kajv95]

hey you know whats a good idea before releasing a chaotic alliance raid based on the alliance boss everyone is probably the sickest of?

more incentive to only ever see that alliance raid. God, I'm so glad I'm exclusively running pvp since I still needed to get my series exp up anyway. Haven't been subbed for over a month so I have 4 days to do it.

[lolnotacat]

I just wish they'd drop the CT tome reward and add another AR series with an increased reward amount. Mogtomes shouldn't be only about sprouts (that would be a sign they're hemorrhaging players), it should also be about funneling players into less played content so everyone can experience and learn it. People complain about long queues if they're trying to do Nier or Ivalice raids for glams, mogtime time should be a perfect opportunity for those players to get to grind for stuff they want as well.

[Archeron]

Because sprouts need people to help them clear it so they can progress the MSQ. So you get rewarded for helping those sprouts.

If you would like to do it a way other than CT, there are plenty of other ways to get them.

Honestly is there NOTHING that SE could do that you wouldn't try defending? Why are you even here?

CT doesn't need tomestones. Don't be ridiculous. I have NEVER seen a new player complain about how long it took to get a CT raid pop. Half the people on this game probably haven't even unlocked the other raids, and the one time they could give a bonus to those raids so people *would* unlock them, they don't.
